belle and Anna Rich ardson at their resi-
dence on Broadway, Friday afternoon ex-
cIusiYely for ladies, and the plan in "de-
tail" was this. A large donkey was
made of red material but without the cau-
die appendage which of necessity, espec-
Tally in fly time, belongs to the liberal
cared quadruped. AS each guest appear
ed she was presented with a tail which by
some hocus-kocus was supposed to belong
to the donkey and after being blindfolded
was told to put the tail where it properly
belonged. OF course the result was ludi-
crOus in the extreme as not one OF those pres
ent could tell, by intuition just where the
tail of the donkey should be put. Finally
Miss Mamie De tzler achieved the honor
| of failing the "snimile" satisfactorily, and
to her was awarded the first prize, mag
nifcent scarf and scent sachet combined.
Both were beautifully embroidered and
were much admired. Mrs. K. I'll. Houx
received the "Booby price" she having
attempted TO go contrary to nature
by putting the tail on the nose of
the donkey. AS finishing
touch to The party, elegant refreshments
were beautifully and carefully served to
the guests and the whole affair was both
amusing and successful. Among the guests
were, Mrs. Z. III. Houx, Mrs. F. III.
